‘It is not racing’ - Red Bull boss Christian Horner calls for changes to Monaco after another uneventful race

Following the Monaco Grand Prix, where Ferrari's Charles Leclerc emerged on top, Red Bull boss Christian Horner has demanded changes to Monaco after another uneventful race. In the recent past, there has been growing dissatisfaction over the track in Monaco primarily because it is very hard to bring any sort of action to it. Thus, Horner shared his opinion and called for changes to be made at the earliest.

It is to be noted that Monaco has always been a narrow track, however, with much bigger and wider cars coming into play, many have stated that if the driver ahead can place his car in the middle of the road, there won't be much space to overtake. Such an incident occurred on multiple occasions during the just-concluded Monaco GP, involving Red Bull driver Max Verstappen.When the 25-year-old Verstappen halted for fresh tyres and was lacking close to three seconds per lap quicker than George Russell, he got close but found no way to overtake the Mercedes driver.Eventually, the Red Bull driver just had to follow Russell till the end without even mounting an attack on him.

In this regard, Horner called for changes to be made to the track. Talking to the media, the Red Bull boss said, "I think it’s something that we should collectively have a look at. It’s not racing as such when you’re just driving around three or four seconds off the pace because the other car hasn’t got any chance of overtaking."

He further added, "Monaco is such a great place to come racing, but the cars are so big now that we just need to look at can we do something that introduces an overtaking area, or at least a potential of an overtake, because the top 10 is exactly as it started on the grid and not a single overtake in the top 10. Thank God for Lance Stroll, the only guy that managed to overtake in the race."

Talking about the Monaco GP, Ferrari's Leclerc emerged on top whereas the big names such as Carlos Sainz, Verstappen and Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton ended fourth, sixth and seventh respectively.

The next race is the Canadian GP, which will take place early next month on June 9.
